This module defines table parser classes,which parse plaintext-graphic tables
and produce a well-formed data structure suitable for building a CALS table.
:Classes:
- `GridTableParser`: Parse fully-formed tables represented with a grid.
- `SimpleTableParser`: Parse simple tables, delimited by top & bottom
borders.
:Exception class: `TableMarkupError`
:Function:
`update_dict_of_lists()`: Merge two dictionaries containing list values.

Parse a grid table using `parse()`.
Here's an example of a grid table::

| Header row, column 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 | Header 4 |
+========================+============+==========+==========+
| body row 1, column 1 | column 2 | column 3 | column 4 |
+------------------------+------------+----------+----------+
| body row 2 | Cells may span columns. |
+------------------------+------------+---------------------+
| body row 3 | Cells may | - Table cells |
+------------------------+ span rows. | - contain |
| body row 4 | | - body elements. |
+------------------------+------------+---------------------+
Intersections use '+', row separators use '-' (except for one optional
head/body row separator, which uses '='), and column separators use '|'.
Passing the above table to the `parse()` method will result in the
following data structure::
([24, 12, 10, 10],
[[(0, 0, 1, ['Header row, column 1']),
(0, 0, 1, ['Header 2']),
(0, 0, 1, ['Header 3']),
(0, 0, 1, ['Header 4'])]],
[[(0, 0, 3, ['body row 1, column 1']),
(0, 0, 3, ['column 2']),
(0, 0, 3, ['column 3']),
(0, 0, 3, ['column 4'])],
[(0, 0, 5, ['body row 2']),

None],
[(0, 0, 7, ['body row 3']),

(1, 1, 7, ['- Table cells', '- contain', '- body elements.']),
None],
[(0, 0, 9, ['body row 4']), None, None, None]])
The first item is a list containing column widths (colspecs). The second
item is a list of head rows, and the third is a list of body rows. Each
row contains a list of cells. Each cell is either None (for a cell unused
because of another cell's span), or a tuple. A cell tuple contains four
items: the number of extra rows used by the cell in a vertical span
(morerows); the number of extra columns used by the cell in a horizontal
span (morecols); the line offset of the first line of the cell contents;
and the cell contents, a list of lines of text.
